WorldPensionSummit

For and by Pension Professionals

The WorldPensionSummit is THE platform for & by pension professionals and the only truly global learning and networking experience. The first Summit was organized in 2010. The mission of the Summit is to offer a global platform to pension experts to learn from innovative ideas and new strategies. Discuss the future of pensions with global thought leaders. Get fresh perspectives on how to tackle the pension challenges and how to achieve sustainable pension provision. Since early 2016, WorldPensionSummit is part of Pensions & Investments, which is part of Crain Communications.

With people living longer, the relative and absolute number of retirees is growing while the contribution to pension funds is declining. A challenge for all pension stakeholders to secure an adequate pension provision. New roles in structuring pensions, securing best practices and balancing risk-return. New responsibilities for the pension services industry, regulators, employers and employees, governments and above all citizens who should be more in control of their personal financial planning.
Theme 2016 | Managing Rising RisksThe WorldPensionSummit 2016 program will focus on ‘Managing Rising Risks’. Key risks are on the rise. Increasing life expectancy and the ageing population are a true challenge for many governments. Along with new economic realities and a rapid changing investment climate, Pension Funds and insurers have to rethink their strategies to secure adequacy, sustainability and integrity for their participants. The present rock-bottom interest rates brings about the question how to generate adequate investment returns. The need to step into more volatile investments might be conflicting with promises made to policyholders and pensioners. But eventually more diversification will be needed. At every aspect of “pensions” new perspectives on risk management are needed. The move from DB to DC has transferred the risk more to participants. Base Social Security and first pillar pensions are losing their importance with a retreating government. A growing number of self-employed workers do have to plan for their own financial continuity and thus their old age. Personal Financial Planning and thus risk management has to become top of mind for the next generation.

The WorldPensionSummit provides exactly the information you need to keep abreast of emerging global pension trends. This summit is the only event that addresses all relevant pension issues in one comprehensive program tailored for senior professionals and is completely organized for and by professionals, ensuring the highest quality program in all aspects.
